FRÄNDER (OFTEN STYLIZED AS FRÄNDER) IS A CONTEMPORARY “HEAVY FOLK” BAND THAT BLENDS SWEDISH AND ESTONIAN MUSICAL TRADITIONS WITH MODERN ROCK-INFLUENCED ENERGY. FOUNDED IN 2015, THE GROUP IS BASED IN UPPSALA, SWEDEN, AND IS KNOWN FOR ITS DRIVING GROOVES, SEDUCTIVE VOCAL HARMONIES, AND USE OF ACOUSTIC INSTRUMENTS TO CREATE A SOUND EVOCATIVE OF ANCIENT SCANDINAVIAN LANDSCAPES.
